Chapter 1: Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the NetComm 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Web Smart

Switch, available in either 16-Port or 24-Port models. This device integrates 1000Mbps Gigabit

Ethernet, 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and 10Mbps Ethernet network capabilities in a highly flexible

package.

In this guide, the term “Switch” (first letter upper case) refers to your 16 or 24 Port 10/100/

1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Web Smart Switch, and “switch” (first letter lower case) refers to other

Ethernet switches.

This chapter describes the features of your new Switch and some background information about

Ethernet/Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet switching technology.

Gigabit Ethernet Technology

Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet utilizing the same packet structure, format,

and support for CSMA/CD protocol, full duplex, flow control, and management objects, but with a

tenfold increase in theoretical throughput over 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet and a hundredfold increase

over 10-Mbps Ethernet. Since it is compatible with all 10-Mbps and 100-Mbps Ethernet environ-

ments, Gigabit Ethernet provides a straightforward upgrade without wasting a company’s existing

investment in hardware, software and trained personnel.

The increased speed and extra bandwidth offered by Gigabit Ethernet is essential for coping with

network bottlenecks that frequently develop as computers and get faster and more applications

generate more traffic. Upgrading key components, such as your backbone and servers to Gigabit

Ethernet can greatly improve network response times as well as significantly speed up the traffic

between your subnets.

Gigabit Ethernet enables fast ethernet connections to support video conferencing, complex imaging,

and similar data-intensive applications. Likewise, since data transfers occur 10 times faster than Fast

Ethernet, servers outfitted with Gigabit Ethernet NIC’s are able to perform 10 times the number of

operations in the same amount of time.

In addition, the phenomenal bandwidth delivered by Gigabit Ethernet is the most cost-effective

method to take advantage of today’s and tomorrow’s rapidly improving switching and routing

internetworking technologies.

Switching Technology

Another approach to pushing beyond the limits of standard Ethernet technology is the development

of switching technology. A switch bridges Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of the Ethernet

protocol transmitting among connected Ethernet or Fast Ethernet LAN segments.

Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total network capacity available to users on a local

area network. A switch increases capacity and decreases network loading by dividing a local area

network into different segments, which don’t compete with each other for network transmission

capacity.

The switch acts as a high-speed selective bridge between the individual segments. The switch,

without interfering with any other segments, automatically forwards traffic that needs to go from one

segment to another. By doing this the total network capacity is multiplied, while still maintaining the

same network cabling and adapter cards.

Switching LAN technology is a marked improvement over the previous generation of network

bridges, which were characterized by higher latencies. Routers have also been used to segment local

area networks, but the cost of a router, the setup and maintenance required make routers relatively

impractical. Today switches are an ideal solution to most kinds of local area network congestion

problems.

VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network)

A VLAN is a group of end-stations that are not constrained by their physical location and can

communicate as if a common broadcast domain, a LAN. The primary reason for using a VLAN is to

reduce latency and the need for routers. Other VLAN benefits include:

Security Security is increased with the reduction of opportunity in

eavesdropping on a broadcast network, because data will

only be switched to those confidential users within the

VLAN.

Cost Reduction VLANs can be used to create multiple broadcast

domains, thus eliminating the need of expensive routers.

Port-based (or port-group) Port-based is the common method of implementing a

VLAN, and is the one supplied in the Switch.

Chapter 2: Installation

The location where you install the switch stack may greatly affect its performance, therefore we

suggest you consider the following before you install your switch:

■ Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place. See Technical Specifications for the acceptable

temperature and humidity operating ranges.

■ Install the Switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such as motors),

vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.

■ Leave at least 10cm of space at the front and rear of the hub for ventilation.

■ Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support its weight, or in an EIA standard-size

equipment rack. For information on rack installation, see the next section, Rack Mounting.

■ When installing the Switch on a level surface, attach the rubber feet to the bottom of each device.

The rubber feet cushion the switch and protect the switch case from scratching.

Rack Mounting

The switch can be mounted in an EIA standard-size, 19-inch rack, which can be placed in a wiring

closet with other equipment. Attach the mounting brackets to the switch’s front panel (one on each

side), and secure them with the screws provided.

Figure 1. Combine the Switch with the provided screws

Then, use screws provided with the equipment rack to mount each switch in the rack.

NetComm 16 or 24 port Gigabit Switch YML711 Rev1

Figure 2. Mount the Switch in the rack

Connecting Network Cable

The Switch supports 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet that runs in Auto-negotiation mode, 10Mbps

Ethernet or 100Mbps Fast Ethernet that runs both in half and full duplex mode, and 1000Mbps

Gigabit Ethernet that runs in full duplex mode using four pair of Category 5 Cable.

☞ Important Note:

Some Category 5 cables are only prepared with two pairs (4 wires) of

interconnection wires which are not suitable for Gigabit Ethernet over

Category 5 cables.

In order to use the full performance of this switch in Gigabit mode, please

ensure that your cabling uses four pairs (8 wires). The switch’s RJ-45 ports

are Auto-MDI and will auto negotiate between 10Mbps, 100Mbps and

1000Mbps depending on the type of cable and connection. The Switch can

auto transform to MDI-II or MDI-X, so there is no need to use cross-over

cables or an up-link port.

AC Power

The Switch uses AC power 240V AC, 50 Hz. The power switch is located at the rear of the unit

adjacent to the AC power connector and the system fan. The Switch may be turned on without

having any or all LAN segment cables connected.

LED Indicator: Comprehensive LED indicators display the status of the

switch and the network (see the following LED Indica-

tors section).

Gigabit Ethernet Ports (1~16 or 1~24): Depending on which model you have purchased, the

Switch has 16 or 24 Gigabit twisted pair ports, supported

auto negotiable 10/100/1000Mbps and auto MDI/MDIX

crossover detection function. This supplies true “plug

and play” capability. These ports operate in half-duplex

mode for 10/100Mbps and full- duplex mode for 10/100/

1000Mbps.

Note: When the port is set to “Forced Mode”, the Auto MDI/MDIX feature will be

disabled.
